Abdominal pelvic trauma is common during pregnancy. However, the occurrence of a uterine rupture during these traumas is a rare possibility but of extreme gravity, whose maternal-fetal prognosis will be conditioned by the speed of diagnosis, and management in a health structure with all the appropriate resources. We report in this observation a traumatic uterine rupture on a 32-week pregnancy of amenorrhea that resulted in the death of the gestant, in a context of delayed diagnosis and unavailability of emergency obstetric care.
